Meetings, meetings … snore!
One conf’rence call and one live?
Two places at once?

Left Hand, please meet Right Hand. Right Hand, this is Left Hand. It is essential that the two of you work closely together. Ideally, you ought to be connected, somehow – as if the same central nervous system guided both of your actions. Now, that would be something! Just imagine – Left Hand and Right Hand, in sync, working as one body.

I have a conference call at 8:30am today. I also have a live meeting at 8:30am today. Some of the meeting participants overlap, so I do not know which one is priority, or if one supersedes the other and no one bothered to inform me. Ironically, the “live” meeting is taking place in a conference room that comfortably seats 12 or has standing-room-only space for about 20. There are 60+ people included in the meeting. Thankfully, there is also a phone-in option (for folks out of town), so I do believe that I will stay in the comfortable-by-comparison Frozen Tundra that is my office and participate by conference call.

Now, which number shall I call?!?
